[0002] In the past tank inspection process of liquefied hydrocarbon storage tank, after liquid phase emptying, the gas phase in the tank is discharged into the low-pressure gas system for recovery, and when the pressure in the tank is balanced with the pressure of the low-pressure gas system, the light components of liquefied gas in the tank still fill the entire spherical tank. It is necessary to carry out steaming tank treatment to discharge the light components into the low-pressure gas system for recovery. The tank root gate valve is closed, the lower flange is disconnected, and the flange short connection is connected for purging. Then, the steam condensate water in the purging process is discharged out of the tank through the cut water root valve pipeline.

Due to the site location and pneumatic valve installation conditions, the emergency shut-off valve needs to be installed on the cross pipe. There is a low point between the tank root and the emergency shut-off valve, and long-term steam injection will cause the condensate water to block the air inlet, which will affect the steaming tank effect, so that the site cannot carry out steam injection steaming.
